Auction History Result 5m050 EMPTY SADDLES linen 1sh '36 great art of Buck Jones on his horse with cowboys behind him! Date Sold 3/1/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Empty Saddles, the 1936 Lesley Selander cowboy western ("From a Novel by Cherry Wilson") starring Buck Jones, Louise Brooks (the legendary beauty in one of her final roles), Harvey Clark, Gertrude Astor, Chas Middleton, Frank Campeau, Niles Welch, Lloyd Ingraham, Ben Corbett, and Robert Adair. Note that pre-talkie star Louise Brooks turned her back on Hollywood in 1929, and went to Europe and made some memorable films. In the early 1930s she attempted to return to Hollywood (minus her trademark flapper hairdo), but met with little success. She is prominently billed in this movie, but is not pictured on the posters. Also note that Buck Jones' white horse was named Silver (just like The Lone Ranger's later on!), and Silver made 73 movies with Buck Jones from 1922 until Jones' death in 1942 in the tragic Cocoanut Grove fire. But oddly, Silver was almost never billed on the posters for Buck Jones' movies as so many other famous horses (most especially Tom Mix's Tony) were! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tears and tiny paper loss scattered across the top and bottom horizontal folds, with a lesser amount of wear on the other foldlines. It had pinholes, tears, and paper loss in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that at some point after linenbacking, the poster was roughly handled and there are now minor creases in the right border (solely in the excess linen, and not at all in the poster itself).
